Our sacramento Letter.

SACRAMENTO, january ~ o|'
The day has been quiet one politl'
cally. Nothing of any moment occurred
save the passage at arms in the Senate
between Vrooman and Moffitt. The
Republican Senator from Alameda is
here with the intention of obstructing
State legislation. He delays and retards
every motion made, by trivial objections
and foolish arguments. He voted aye
on the election of minor attache to.
day, and when the vote was carried
asked for q reconsideration ia the next
session-to such small things will this
man descend. But Senator Moffitt, Dem
ocratic Senator from Alameda county.
is q worthy foeman. Vrooman has
the bad habit of losing his temper.
Moffitt is big man, who is so strong
that be can preserve smooth and even
manner even under the most CALLING con.
ditions
He has served before in the Legisla.
ture and knows the rules of parliamenta-
ry debate as thoroughly as Vrooman.
He devised clever scheme for treating
the latter. 1t was to move motion to
adjourn, directly after the roll-call Of
the next session.
Vrooman had came down with large
pile of law books under his arm, and
when Caminetti, at Moffitt's instiga.
tion, moved an adjournment, which is
,,o1a1a 20 hla nnactIon VrnnpQ n
asked Caminetti to wait until
he had had the mornings vote
reconsidered. OF course the Amador
Senator refused. Vrooman did not take
his discontinue quietly. He whispered
most insulting language across the aisle
to Caminetti. and, suddenly, his wrath
falling on Moffitt, he called the latter
some opprobious epithets. Moffitt
laughed at him good nAturedly, which
only lashed the Republican Senator's
fury into wilder flights. But every one
else is laughing at the clever action of
Motifs and Camineiti's, in effectually
teaching Vrooman lesson.
Nothing new has developed in the
Senatorial fight. Ex.Gov. johnson
arrived to-day in the interest of New.
lands. But he does not have any strong
hopes of winning anything with Hearst
in the field.
Another arrival is Alvinza Hayward
who comes up on legislative business.
He is preparing to w,rk bill through
in the interests of his ditch. There Is
big lobby bedind him and the fight will
be full of wealth for many.
Numbers of 'cinch" bills are begin.
ming to show their heads. Some OF
them relate to Alameda county. 9th
ers are designed to bleed insurance
companies. Whenever everything else
falls to unlock coin, the lobby goes for
the Insurance companies. The compa-
nies, however, are preparing to sail in
themselves; however, this year. They
want the "bleeding" seventeen levy
bills killed, and some of the San Fran.
cisco delegation are up here for that
purpose now.
The railroad fight between broad and
narrow gauge in Alameda county is
shaping itself more fully, and the Oak

REpuBLIcANs in no State in the
Union would dare put forward for the
Senate SO pronounced an antagonist
to monopolies as Reagan is. This
honor is reserved for Texas with her
5000 Democratic majority. 1t
would be the interjection of just the
right sort of leaven in the Upper
House, to put a man like this stall
wart Democrat there. Let Texas
rise to the demands of the hour and
make him Senator.

two other gentlemen of color. Prison
keeper McKeag sat asleepon the chair
and as he opened one of his optics, he
jumped nearly twenty feet. 81 say

He's got room to let in his upper
story. He jumped into saloon on
First street tonight like ton of bricks
and wanted drink of whiskey. De
boss refused him and he insisted on
helping himself but de boss was too
quick. He throwed him in de street,

A Fig hit with Knives and Canes
on the Cars.
The / o'clock train for Santa Monica
yesterday carried quite lively crowd
of roughs of the worst character, and
among other passengers two Swedes,
John Thompson and Hal Olsen.
These gentlemen were quite loud in
their talk, being under the influence
of liquor, and just before the train
reached station called Palms one of
a crowd of six toughs told the Swedes
to "shut up" This they refused to
do and the toughs, who were armed
with loaded canes, assaulted the
Swedes, striking them with tie heavy
ends of the canes. The Swedes OBJ
jected to this treatment and one of
them drew pocket knife and slashed
right and left, cutting John Maybee in
the shoulder and Jack McCabe over
the eye. The toughs piled their canes
very rapidly and the train having
slowed up the Swedes left the car and
started to run, but We're captured by
Deputy Constables Cline and johnson
who were on the train. The officers
also took Maybee and McCabe in
charge and locked all four in the bag
gage car, where they remained until
the return trip to this city was made,
when the four were taken to the coun-
ty jail, where they await the investi-
cation of the courts.

SIGNS OF PRosPERIrY.-The Pacolet cotton
mill finds matters now so much improved that
they have determined to enlarge their factory.
The capital stock has been 100000. It will
probably be doubled, making it 5000, ,000.
The work has already commenced. Some of
oar merchants have been agrseaby surprised
at tho volume Of cash business. One Of our
largest grocery merchants says that this year
he determined TO quit the troublesome lien
business, and to sell only for cash except in
rare eases. He reports his business unusually
good, and is surprised at the amount Of cash
he 10 taking in. Other merchants are coming
down TO strict cash basis, and it 10 probable
that before many years the continuance or re-
peal OF the lion law will be matter Of little
moment in Spartanburg county.

Tas PARsoN YlLLEp 'FIRHp-They tell o
story on an Alleghany preacher, which, to the
best Of my knowledge, has not IS yet been iu
print. 1t occurred on very warm day last
summer, and the congreg alton was drswsy.
The preacher was long tslker,ia and after his
sermon had been spread out ovsrs the better
part Of IN hour the congregation was drowsier.
Heads began to drop on tho respective chests
thereunto sppsrtaining. and long, deep BREATH
ing became noticeable in various parts Of the
church.
Then tho preacher began 10 lower his voice
gradually. Step by step he reduced his eloou-
tion from fortissimo tenor pitch to q low,
thing bass, until eventually his voice died
out altogether. He locked carefully over the
congregation. All was still ss death. No one
stirred. All were nodding. Then tho optics
Of the indignant servant Of tho Lord filed with
gore.
He leaned over the pulpit, away over, waited
An instant in thst position, and then suddenly
he yelled Fire hre ! in voice which sent it's
reverberations through overy neck aud corner
of tho edi6os. That brought the congregation
to life as though bomb had burst under them
One old deacon jumped up and yelled:
Where? whcref
That's where the gag came in, aud the min
lister shrieked in tones of thunder

A Big Cheap Show.

We have not had Circus in Union for two
years, but we are to have the next best thing to
irst-class Circus tomorrow afternoon, aud
what is better still, in these moneyless times, II
is the cheapest good big thing that hos ever
come along. Just read the handsome show
bills so profusely posted all over town, and you
will learn that G. W. DsIIaven's big tent show
aud free Menagerie will break into the dull
monotony of Union tomorrow afternoon aud
give the children an opportunity to laugh and
see sights they never saw before, but remem-
Der, no children should bo allowed to visit the
tent unless accompanied by their parents or
other grown and sedate persons.
Wherever this show has appeared the press
has spoken of it in the highest terms as the
best low price tent show which has ever been
through the South. The corps of artists in
cludes gymnasts, jugglers, contortionists,
eighteen high and lofty leapers,' FIVE funny
clowns, wire walkers, troupe Of train ed dogs,
etc. The menagerie contains Romeo the best
dispositioned elephant in tho world, lions,
tigers, monkeys, spotted jaguar, den Of snakes,
live alligators, camels and dromedaries, o sa-
cred COW and baby camel.
Judging from its popularity elsewhere, no
one will be disappointed or have cause to regret
having invested a quarter in this way.

Col. 8. II. Rioe's Misfortune.

Mention was made last week OF the FIRE by
which was oonsummated q loss almost ire
parable to Col. g. NJ. Rice, but on account of
the lateness Of tho hour very little was said.
The fire was discovered on the roof and it is
supposed that 1t was caused by defective fue.
But rs the residence was o high ono and no on 9
was in the yard except the ladies, nothing ef.
fective could be done to stop the fro. The
alarm was sounded, but il was nearly IN hour
before assistance came, md although the citizen
sprang to the rescue promptly they could rem.
der but little help. A few Of the household
goods were saved, but many Of the precious
heirlooms and pictures which can never be re-
placed were destroyed. The laiies worked
bravey, and the men did oil in their power.
1t now transpires that the insurance will not
cover more than one-third the loss
Last week there stood in stately grandeur, q
mansion Of the good old days, in the midst of
o beautiful grove Of oaks, the home Of noble
and Cbristisn people-the home around which
the hallowed associations Of nearly q lifetime
had clustered. To-day the blackened ruins
mark the place where had stood that happy
home, and tho loved ones look with fearful
eyes upon the place where 'desolation broods

that many years Of happiness and prosperity
Will be allotted to the now homeless family.
